Is Hunting and Fishing A Constitutional Right?⎟Ep. #927

Tom Rowland Podcast

In this episode of the Tom Rowland Podcast, I welcome Travis Thompson, Executive Director of the conservation organization All Florida. Sponsored by Starbrite and Danco, the discussion focuses on Florida's Amendment 2, which seeks to enshrine fishing and hunting as constitutional rights. Travis explains the differences between statutory and constitutional rights, dispels common misconceptions, and underscores the vital role of hunters and anglers in conservation. With an important vote on November 5th, this episode highlights the need for unity among sportsmen and the significant impact of informed voting. Don't miss this essential conversation on the stakes and broader implications of Florida's Amendment 2.
